CINCINNATI (AP) -- Derrick Brown didn't miss a shot while scoring 20 points and C.J. Anderson added 13 as No. 16 Xavier rolled to a 70-44 victory over Saint Louis on Thursday night in the Atlantic 10 opener for both teams.
Brown was 6-for-6 from the field, including three 3-pointers, and made all five of his free throws.
Jason Love had 11 points for the Musketeers (12-2, 1-0), who have won three straight games after consecutive losses.
Kevin Lisch scored nine points to lead the Billikens (9-6, 0-1), who made a season-low one 3-pointer and saw their three-game winning streak snapped with their worst loss of the season.
The Musketeers, who have won the last two A-10 regular-season championships, never trailed after Brown made a 3-pointer less than a minute into the game. He scored 11 points and Anderson had 10 to lead the Musketeers to a 39-22 halftime lead.
